Opportunity
Initial Focus: Fund Management
Black Swan manages private equity funds which are invested primarily in natural resources and technology.
In most deals Black Swan and its partners will hold a controlling stake, at least in the initial stages of a transaction, and always require management and board positions on all investments.
Opportunity: ADX Currently Limiting Foreign Listings
NASDAQ DUBAI is currently the only market completely open to foreign companies for listing
ADX has announced their intention to expand
ADX attracts strong regional investor interest

For listed and other international firms Black Swan will:
Cross-list existing US, European and Australian firms on NASDAQ DUBAI
